Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Caroline County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's rules apply to its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems can record basic technical and usage details when a page loads. These details help measure performance and diagnose problems.
- The network Internet Protocol address
- The browser name and software version
- The device category and operating system
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Date and time stamps for visits
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help show how visitors use the site. Most browsers let a user reject or remove cookies. Blocking them is optional, though certain features may function differently without that storage.
Reasons We Use the Data
Collected information is used only for site operations, routing, analysis, troubleshooting, and advertising.
- Maintain reliable and efficient page delivery
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which resources visitors use most
- Detect, investigate, and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may relate to visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to county release-record offices, corrections resources, government portals, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to observe activity across more than one website for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, not within records maintained by Caroline County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to service providers or authorities in the following circumstances.
- Search partners that process a visitor's submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices and Limits
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information from improper access or loss. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a user may exercise these choices concerning information held by the site.
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased
